What to ask a provider

• Will you inspect the property before quoting?
• Which methods and products suit my home or premises?
• How many visits are included, and what is the guarantee?
• How do you handle shared drains, common areas or neighbouring units?

A note on your building

If the problem is widespread, keeps returning or you are unsure what you are dealing with, a professional inspection will save time and avoid wasted effort.

Frequently asked questions

Is pest control different in Marathahalli?

How often should I book a service?

It depends on the pest and the property. Recurring problems and food businesses usually need regular visits.

Yes. Shared walls, drains and waste areas can carry pests between homes.

Do I need a contract?
